I have contacted four contractors to come on Monday and Tuesday to provide a price for installation as I presume I am better off supplying the windows myself, however this leads to a number of questions as my knowledge of windows is limited.

The windows have wood frames but the windows inside the frames are aluminum.

What would be the best option for replacement windows for a rental property?
Should I ask the contractor to measure the windows or if I am getting the windows myself should I try to measure the windows?
Any general advice for getting this completed? Things I probably need to know and understand.

I am not sure where you are located, but there are companies like Window World that will install most any size for $189 parts and labor. It could cost more if added prep work is needed, but pretty cheap for a vinyl double pain. I would let the installer measure and provide the windows, so you are out of that all together. No value add in you buying windows. Any window company gets better prices than you due to scale.

Oh I just got it, your name is Splitrock and the picture is of a split rock

Business classes in college are probably a waste of money in the real world

However there are many examples of people in the military who saved up a great deal of money while performing their duties for a few years and then after discharge they had a nice pile of money to get started in real estate

Will also teach discipline and other skills important to real estate

Not to mention then you can get the G.I. benefit to go to college free if you choose

Wei - can you expand why you are scared you may have made a horrific mistake?? Real estate may not be the right avenue for you? Check out bank CD's - very safe.
